New oldest is down at the bottom of the picture. Only squeaked by my previous record by two years, but I've joined the 100 year club!

1906! About 10-12 years ago when I was a kid and didn't realize how special that was.
Rest in Peace

My oldest from bank roll was a 1886 type 2 Indian. Oldest Lincoln was also a 1909VDB, not at the same time tho. I think it all depends when the relatives toss grandpa's old coins in a "recycling" service. A benefit for us, but kinda sad it works out that way.

The oldest cent I have found was a 1941 and I got it in a roll here on base in Korea. Its pretty neat that its from ten years before the Korean War began and still ended up here.

I can't believe how many of you have found 1909 VDB's. When my son and I have done penny rolls, the only thing we found was common wheaties from the 1940's and 50's.

My daughter found her first Wheat penny in a roll this morning, from 1957. Excitement in the house!
